Rat repellant for ev's

Is anyone using those ultrasonic devices available online to protect their ev's from rats? Do they really work? All of them are made in china. Some come with lights and some work with their speaker only.

If no then what are you using to keep the rats away?

Help me pick an EV for 40% city / 60% highway + regular 120 km commute (Budget ~₹22L)

Hi all, looking for some practical advice on my first EV purchase.

Use case / driving pattern:

  • Location: Based in Northeast India
  • Usage split: ~40% city, ~60% highway
  • Regular route: House to factory site is ~120 km one way (so 240 km round trip on days I don’t charge in between)
  • I plan to keep the car for the long term (8–10 years) so battery health, service network and real-world range matter more than gimmick features.

Budget:

  • Around ₹22 lakh (can stretch a bit if it really makes sense for my use case).

Cars I’m currently considering:

  1. MG Windsor EV Essence Pro
  2. Mahindra XEV 9S – 79 kWh Pack (Pack 1/Above)
  3. Mahindra BE 6 79 kWh – Pack Two
  4. Tata Sierra EV – 75 kWh (Adventure / Accomplished)

What I’m looking for help with:

Given my use case (40% city, 60% highway, regular 120 km one way to factory):

  • Which of these is the most sensible long-term highway commuter rather than just the most “flashy” new launch?
  • Is the MG Windsor EV simply too city-focused for this pattern even though it’s cheaper?
  • Between Mahindra XEV 9S, Mahindra BE 6, and Tata Sierra EV, which platform looks better for:
    • Real-world range at 90–100 km/h cruise
    • Battery warranty and degradation over 8–10 years
    • Service support and parts availability in smaller cities / Northeast
  • If there is a better option around ₹22L that I’m missing (like Curvv EV / Creta EV / Nexon EV LR etc.), I’m open to suggestions as long as it realistically handles my 120 km one-way highway run without range anxiety.

Would love inputs from owners who do regular intercity/highway runs in their EV. Thanks in advance – happy to share more details on terrain/charging options if that helps.

MG Windsor EV Pro - Range issues

I got the windsor ev pro middle variant (without the sun roof and adas) in New Delhi. Im only getting 250 km in the city driving on highest regen and normal mode. Its been a month. I have the AC on 21 and 5 fan speed. My daily drive is Delhi - Noida - Delhi around 30 km round trip so while I dont need to charge it too often (once a week so far), it should ideally be giving me more range.

Ive seen people here say they manage to get upto 400 km on this in the city. Given the current range im getting in the city, I am not going to take in on the highway at the current performance levels.

Looking for advice as to what I should be doing. Should I take it back to the showroom and get it checked out. Should I be driving on for a few months and get it looked at during the 3 month free service.

EV Sheetwars : Creta EV vs XEV 9S vs BE 6e vs Carens Clavis EV (~20-25L)

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share a rubric I created to compare EVs in the ₹20L–25L segment. Rather than just stating the raw spec, this sheet allows for a more subjective comparison that heavily emphasises personal priorities.

The sheet currently includes my personal shortlist: the Creta EV Premium (42 kWh), XEV 9S Pack One (59 kWh), BE 6e Pack Two (59 kWh), and Carens EV HTX (42 kWh). Sorry if your favorite EV isn't on here yet!

I'm sharing this in hopes that anyone in the same boat will find it useful. If your dream EV is missing, you can easily add it and assign your own priority ratings (1-10, with 10 being the highest) to each feature to see how well a car objectively aligns with your lifestyle.

👉 GOOGLE SHEET - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bphEiWXcrhsQO5VwekA_-ef31gZm6agrLGfNmbFyrnc/

🛠️ Customizing

  • You File > Make a copy and adjust the weights to suit your personal needs. (Note: You must be logged into a Google/Gmail account for the copy feature to work)
  • Adding new columns for more cars/variants would be really helpful. I will try to integrate it into this "master" file if you can share your creation with me (pls double-check the data; I am not going to verify). If you add a column, make sure you drag the math column down correctly so the final summation works!

Hope this helps someone. And pls don't start a war on someone's priorities.

📌 Note that

  1. The "On-Road Price" row scores cars strictly on their absolute cost (Cheaper = Higher Score, More Expensive = Lower Score) based on your financials. Don't give a rating based on Value for Money (the other columns would determine if it's VFM for your money)

  2. Every category has a Weightage multiplier (Col - C; 1-10, 10 being the best). This is how much you value a feature. The actual rating of a car for these features (1-5) appears in later columns (F, I, L, O). You shouldn't need to touch those unless you are adding a new car. You shouldn't need to touch those 1-5 scores unless you are adding a completely new car.

Booked Curvv EV accomplished X55 - still a good decision after Sierra EV launch?

Booked the Curvv EV Accomplished X recently and paid the booking amount, but now I’m having second thoughts after the Sierra launch.
The Curvv is coming to around ₹18L on-road for me. My priorities are family comfort, long-term ownership, service experience and reliability.
For people who own the Curvv EV or have test-driven it, would you still buy the Accomplished X today? Any issues, regrets, or things I should know before making the final payment?
Looking for honest owner experiences rather than YouTube reviews.
Max budget is 19lakhs

Got scammed

Hi, I bought an electric two wheeler Toxmo 318 in May 2025 for my ageing father. Over the next year, when the vehicle was under warranty, I had to visit the dealer several times to get battery replaced. Every few months one of the six batteries would die out. Each battery is 12V, taking the 6 batteries to 72V. I had the bill and the dealer did replace the batteries until the warranty period.

In the month of June, one of the battery has died in line with its tradition. I have hardly ridden the scooty. Their factory is in Haryana and I am in Ayodhya, UP.

I have two queries-

  1. Can I go to consumer forum / court and get some legal closure? Or is it my bad judgement to invest in bad product?

  2. Should I take the risk of buying a litium phosphate battery for this scooty?

Any suggestion is welcome.

Maruti Suzuki eVitara Reliability Issues

Recently booked the eVitara Alpha hoping a reliable car and today I saw posts in X about brake issues. Are these one off issues or is something wrong with the car (which is why Maruti is selling it in limited numbers?). Any feedback from real owners about the known issues is appreciated- can’t trust anything on the internet blindly anymore.

Tata Nexon. fearless 45 VS Curvv Accomplished X? Which one worth it?

We are buying our first electric cars. We have decided to choose between Nexon fearless 45 or Curvv Accomplished X.

Nexon Fearless 45 - 15.75L

Curvv Accomplished X - 17.75L

This price is offered by dealer after asking discount. He initially quated 18.03 L for curvv ev. It doesn't include any kind of loyalty, scrapage, exchange or green bonus. I have asked the dealer about these discount he says there is no discount on curvv ev. What should I do?

ETA info of Google maps in DID

I have the punch ev 2026 top model, and the feature of displaying google maps on Driver Instrument Display with Apple CarPlay rolled out just about a week back, which we had been anticipating since ages. The issue is that the DID display does not show the ETA display (distance in km, time to reach, est. time of arrival) like in the infotainment display. Anyone facing the same issue, is there any way to enable that?
